Week 2, Post 1

The first readings section on using a variety of skills applies to the field of psychology. With that as my major, I could do anything from research to forensics. Each different area would require me to adjust my skills as a technical writer. The part of the second reading that interested me the most was the part about nonfiction writing. This is a part of psychology that I am definitely interested in personally, as I am going to be doing interviews and/or research anyway. "Write for specialized technical and medical trade journals " is the part of the third document I could see applying to the job I get in my field, but this is very specific, as the example from the second reading is. The gist of the whole fourth article applies to the writing I would do in psychology. Keeping it simple could prove difficult in a medical field, and unnecessary depending on the audience. But the parts about avoiding jargon, inconsistency, redundancy, etc. should always be kept in mind.
